How ED?! On Adele second week?!

 

I mean I hope I’m wrong but I’m just not 100% sure Adele will hold up on streaming. I’ve got no idea though.

I think it will be:

 

Ed-ABBA-ABBA-Adele-Adele

Think Adele holding on to a second week at least is a certainty especially with the initial underperformance of Ed's.

I'll be shocked if Adele's album doesn't stay at #1 at least until the end of the year!

Ed Sheeran.

Abba.

After looking at the first midweeks for Ed's album, I reckon Rod or Little Mix will be the #1 on the 19th now.

Well it looks like at least 100 people got the first one right :magic:

The only week I think there is any real doubt is ABBA's 2nd week vs Ed's 3rd week tbh.

Yes that week might be Taylor Swift.

 

I think it's much more likely to be Rod Stewart than Taylor Swift if it is a new entry but it would be impressive if Taylor manages to keep her UK #1 streak going despite the seemingly not great timing of this release.

Not that I'm expecting them to but to completely omit LM , with there gazillion different formats , is a bit surprising

Absolutely. I found it strange they were omitted lol.

Lets hope o good promo from Westlife to beat Adele 2nd week.

Shame for Taylor to lose her number 1 streak

I think Abba in their second week will be too strong for either.

Lets hope o good promo from Westlife to beat Adele 2nd week.

Adele will definitely sell over 200k in week two, there's no way they can beat her.

My final bet is:

 

5th: 1 - Ed

12th: 1 - ABBA, 2 - Ed

19th: 1 - ABBA, 2 - Ed, 3 - Rod, 4 - LM, 5 - Taylor

26th: 1 - Adele, 2 - Ed, 3 - ABBA, 4 - Rod, 5 - LM

3rd: 1 - Adele, 2 - Westlife, 3 - Ed, 4 - ABBA, 5 - Rod

Westlife won’t come close to challenging Adele’s week 2 sales, also this era they have failed (so far) to have a hit single which helped their last album.

200k in week 2 sounds impossible but lets see, maybe approaching xmas will help her :(

Nobody is selling 200,000 in week 2 in 2021 UK. Even if Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston were to rise from death and do a duet album together, still not moving 200,000 units
